What are the Northern Lights?

The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, is one of nature’s most spectacular light shows. Visible in the dark night skies in the areas around the North Pole, these lights appear when the sun’s radiation mixes with the Earth’s atmosphere. This natural combustion creates a dramatic display of lights with luminous green and purple hues in the night sky. The phenomenon is known as ‘auroras’ and it can be seen in both the northern and southern hemispheres.

When is the best time to experience the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi?

The best time to experience a view of the Northern lights in Rovaniemi is during the winter months, generally from late September to late March. The season runs from September – November and then from December – March, depending on the weather conditions in Rovaniemi at the time. It is much more likely to witness the Northern Light displays during this period of the year because the sky is darker for longer periods allowing for more opportunities for viewing them. Additionally, Lapland has mainly clear skies due to its location being ideal for viewing the night sky.

What should I expect on a Husky Sleigh Ride?

A husky sleigh ride is an exciting adventure that you can do in Lapland and provides an exciting way to explore its landscape and nature. Typically, husky sleigh rides consist of mushers steering the lead sled behind a pack of strong huskies that pull you along through snowy trails in forests and frozen lakes. On your ride, you can look out for any sightings of Northern Lights or even the neighboring Reindeer herds.

Before taking part in a Husky sleigh ride, it’s important to listen to your guide’s instructions thoroughly. During your tour specifically, your guide will teach you how to operate and harness your own sled, as well as how to control your team of Huskies. Most of all, it’s important to stay safe throughout the ride and listen carefully to your guide’s safety instructions.

During your husky sleigh ride, most tour companies provide complimentary hot berry juice and biscuits, depending on the company that you select. Then after your ride, there’s usually time for some fun activities such as snowmobile games or snowshoeing. Basically, on a husky sleigh ride, you get to experience the nature of Lapland courtesy of some of its fluffiest friends.
